Walkin’ Willoughby

Walking is one of the easiest ways to be physically active. You can do it almost anywhere and at any time. Walking is also inexpensive—all you need is a pair of shoes with sturdy heel support. Walking correctly is very important:

Walk with your chin up and your shoulders held slightly back

Walk so that the heel of your foot touches the ground first. Roll your weight forward.

Walk with your toes pointed forward.

Swing your arms as you walk.

Experts recommend 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, if not all, days of the week. If you cannot do 30 minutes at a time, try walking for shorter amounts and gradually working up to it. We have set-up many trails throughout the city for you to walk.
